Re: 1983 camaro z28 E

E = export

All of the 83 Z28s had that stupid dual-pointer speedo with the English and metric halves. I got rid of that lame POS as soon as I could find somebody with a 86-up car that was willing to part with something that made sense. I think the cluster in my car right now came out of a 87, so it has a normal-looking speedo that goes to 140 mph, and has the metric numbers around the inside.

7 = the L69; that's what mine has too. 7 in the VIN, L69.

Yeah it's kind of "rare", in a relative way (relative to things that are more common); there were 3,000 some-odd 83 L69 Z28s made; not sure how important that is though....

If you check out the Sales Media section of Thirdgen there are several brocures and ads from the early 80s on the Z28-Es
